Re: Mirror,Mirror
Just imagine how much worse it would be if we had been born female. I go as many days as possible before having a shave, if I am not going anywhere special any old clothes will do. Women shave their legs and under arms, some even go to beauty parlours to have someone prune their bush. Then all the cremes and lotions and moustache removal, this is before the make up and hair.
Yes we are lucky being men, it is far to much work being a woman. I don't know how they find the time to do all this and make beds, vacuum the carpets, cook and wash up. I am a modern man, never complain when a woman's activities disturb me when reading the paper.

Men don't need mirrors, women tell them how they look.
Women and cats will do as they please,
Men and dogs should relax and get used to it.

Re: Mirror,Mirror
My wife is always moaning at my socks, they don't go with that shirt, jacket etc, she seems to think that i have considered the colour when choosing, Choosing ??, no such thought process, just the first pair out of the drawer. Maybe if its so important to her she should wash and fold my trousers, shirts jacket in the right order in the drawer, then i would always be matching colours. By the way, she does not read my postings on here, thank the Lord, kt

Re: Mirror,Mirror
#14 Similar here at Chateau Gill, as well, I expect, elsewhere aboard here. I have to hide any items of clothing not deemed suitable by the Wardrobe Mistress before They're dispatched to the charity shop. My sock drawer is a place of confusion, I'm sure the washing machine eats odd socks. Venturing out is a nightmare! ' you're not going out like that'- given that I'm merely going for my daily walk where I'll see not a soul, disguised with hat, scarf and facemask, butters no parsnips with Her Indoors. As with others, mercifully my posts remain unseen here @ Chateau Gill.

hi john sabourn #11
good afternoon, i think your being rather harsh, obviously you have enough tread on your head to go the barber with,
just think of the folicile challanged or balled whom cannot luxuriate with pleasure of seeing the comb pass through their thick mane people like me whom my barber pretends to cut but is really just wasting my time,
the only good point of this subject is that because of the lockdown i have bought a electric hair cutter and with a number three cutting blade off it comes,
so john sabourn during this time and especially because of the pc world remember the less fortunate.
